Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1417

The sudden turn of events left not just Thalia stunned, but also the woman. Her expression changed drastically as she glared at Shannon. "What have you done?"

Shannon calmly raised her phone. "This is the power of science. Didn't you learn it in school?"

To be honest, she was equally surprised by the effect. It was shocking to learn that ultrasound worked on bats made of black smoke.

While the woman was stunned, Thalia quickly reacted. She sent a fireball ahead and shot forward like a cannonball to charge toward the woman. Then, she struck with a powerful kick.

Though the woman reacted in time to block, she was still kicked away by Thalia and crashed into the ground.

The black smoke spreading in the alley trembled and seemed unstable.

Tortoise the System, which had just been used as a brick and was dizzy, sensed a sudden strange presence within the black smoke.

It instinctively wanted to warn Shannon but decided to shut up for good. Why should it warn her when she'd just used it like a brick?

While the system remained silent, the woman who'd been kicked away lost the upper hand and quickly retracted the bats. Then, she swiftly retreated with the help of black smoke.

She disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Thalia had intended to continue her attack, but when the woman vanished into the black smoke, she couldn't help cursing under her breath, "Look, she's escaped again! She flees whenever she can't win!"

Though cursing, she didn't seem inclined to pursue further. Instead, she turned and dragged Shannon out of the alley.

"That old hag knows about your existence. Once she recovers, she'll come after you and force you to reveal the way to opening the alternate world portal."

Thalia's voice was grave as she continued, "We need to find your two companions as soon as possible. Once we do, you need to leave the alternate world immediately."

Shannon paused. She sharply sensed something off in Thalia's words. "You? Shouldn't it be 'we'?"

Thalia froze before realization struck her. "Oh right, I meant we. Sorry, slip of the tongue."

Shannon wasn't fully convinced. "Was it just a slip of the tongue? Are you hiding something from me?"
